Our Verdict

This is animal free dairy milk, I don’t really understand the process but you can read about it here. I’d personally prefer to just an oat milk or something similar, but I guess this is exciting if you can eventually use the same process to make cheese or similar? Either way this is free so if you want to give it a try this is your best chance.

The link goes to aisle, but there is no bored cow on aisle web site.

This is disgusting. Drinking fresh, unpasteurized milk straight from the cow made me the man I am today. I hope none of you fools choose to drink this UNNATURAL liquid despite it being free

We have been told to stay away from highly processed foods.

Is this an example of that?

If anyone should respond in a post about “Bored Cow”, it’s definitely Bad Cow.

I work in public health and have a BS in nutrition, working on MS in personalized nutrition now. Nutritionally, it looks very similar to cow’s milk, with different ingredients to keep it vegan friendly.

That said, the poor nutrition content of ultra processed foods is related to them containing extra salt and sugar (overgeneralizing), which increase blood pressure and calorie intake/weight, respectively. Being ultra processed isn’t mutually exclusive with unhealthy foods. Peanut butter and hummus involve lots of processing, and are still healthy components of your diet if you choose to eat them.

If this were in stores near me, I’d try it.

Probably more information than you needed, but I rarely get the chance to use my education outside of work, and wanted to contribute here since otherwise my churning knowledge isn’t at the levels of many users (yet)

The science is actually not very conclusive that increased sodium intake actually does cause high blood pressure. Most people just pee it out. It’s theorized that a small percentage of people have a genetic condition where sodium causes high blood pressure, but it’s not necessarily most people (in fact some people have the opposite response where sodium causes low blood pressure)

  • HOW IS BORED COW MADE?
  • We start with milk protein from fermentation instead of cows! Picture a microbrewery that makes whey instead of beer. This is a new method of making milk ingredients that is 100% vegan-friendly and cruelty free.
  • From there, we add nutrient rich plant fat (sunflower oil) to replace milkfat, which gives dairy milk its creaminess. Next, we add just the right amount of cane sugar to give Bored Cow a nice, subtle sweetness without needing to add lactose.
  • From there, we add plant-based ingredients like upcycled citrus fiber to perfect the texture and mouthfeel. Finally, we fortify it with all the vitamins and minerals you’d expect to find in dairy milk. Think: calcium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and even vegan B12.
  • And that’s how Bored Cow is made!
  • You can visit our product pages (OriginalFlavored) to see our full ingredient list!

Original Ingredients:

Water, whey protein (from fermentation), sunflower oil, sugar, less than 1% of: vitamin A, vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), vitamin D2, riboflavin, citrus fiber, salt, dipotassium phosphate, acacia, gellan gum, mixed tocopherols (antioxidant), calcium potassium phosphate citrate, natural flavor.

CONTAINS: MILK ALLERGEN (WHEY PROTEIN FROM FERMENTATION).
Flavored:

Water, sugar, animal-free whey protein (from fermentation), sunflower oil, less than 1% of: vanilla extract, vitamin A, vitamin D2, vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), riboflavin, citrus fiber, salt, dipotassium phosphate, acacia, gellan gum, mixed tocopherols (antioxidant), calcium potassium phosphate citrate, natural flavor.

CONTAINS: MILK ALLERGEN (WHEY PROTEIN FROM FERMENTATION).

The cow milk ingredient I drink daily: REDUCED FAT MILK, VITAMIN A PALMITATE, VITAMIN D3.

Not a fan of Dipotassium Phosphate but otherwise seems reasonable. Free is free, I’m drinking.
